About Mem bers of the Legislature.

[Extracts from the kinston Free Press.
MFR. Adams. chairman OF he Judiciary
Committee, is a man eminently qualified
for the place. He is a man Of superior ex-
cellence.
MIR f.eazar. of Iredel, is probably the
biggest man, intellectually speaking, on
the Democratic side He is recognized as
one of the leaders.
Mr.. Lee S. Overman. the Democratic
nominee for the Speakership, is man Of
brains and he speaks with fire aud force.
He is. with Mr.. LeaZar (and they work well
together. one Of the recognized leaders
of the Democratic side of the House
Lieut.. Gov. Stcadman prosiGes over
the Senate with a dignity and courtesy
that charms all who enter the Senatorial
chamber He is one of the best men in
Raleigh and deserves the high regard in
which he is held by all who know him.
Richmond Pearson. Esq, is the lead
er, on the floor, of the Independents. He
is bright. smart man and is always on
the alert. He has introduced a bill to re-
peal the present system of County Govern
ment so far as Buncombe county is con
cerned He is also at work to repeal the
no fence law in Buncombe county.
Speaker j. r. Webster, although he il
an Independent, makes very fair and
impartial officer. He has shown little par
tiality to either Democrats or Republicans
save in the appointment Of committee on
elections. That is the only committee with
which the Democrats complain or indeed
with which there is any reason for com
plant.
There is more intelligence appears
to a casual observer-On the Republican
side of the House than usual. "Old Tyre
York is the recognized leader OF the Re
publicans, and he is sly old coon. too, no
matter how much we r!diculed him in
1SS4-and he deserved it every bit. He
controls number of the votes on the Re
publican side of the House.

Mr.. Webster'> Paper on the Stock Law.
from Webster's Dollar Weekly.

From Webster Dollar Weekly
There are a few bills introduced in the
Legislature for the repeating of the stock
law in various counties. We do not favor
this. The law has scarcely beer. in opera
ton long enough to test its virtue. While
there is large minority that opposes the
present system, we believe that they have
the wisdom to foresee that a return to the
old way would result in almost ruin to
large numbers of farmers. They have not
the rails timber aud me to rebuild their
fences. We are confident that We repre-
sent nearly the unanimous sentiment Of
Rockingham county when we advocate the
retention Of the present stock law.

Horace areeley'a "Psor Kin -

The following particulars were
gathered IN an interview with Mrs.
Amanda Greeley, sister of the late
Horace Greeley, who has been strick-
en- with paralysis at the home of her
son, Louis Kossuth Greeley, at
Spring Greek, q small station in
Warren county, Pa, where she has
resided for q number of years.
Amanda Greeley is % years old, and
was married to her cousin, Lowell
Greeley. He has been dead several
years. OF fourteen children, four
are living, namely, Louis Kossuth,
who owns the homestead farm;
Zacheus Il. d., who lives on rented
farm hall mile from Spring Greek
Station; Harrissa, vile of Capt.
Fowler, OF New York City, and Els
telia, now at home, The four are
pure blooded Greeleys, their father
being cousin of Horace and their
mother sister. This coincidence is
noted. Mrs. Amanda Greeley, the
sister o Horace, has had fourteen chill
dren, all dead but four, aud Barnes
Greeley, q brother OF horace,
has had fourteen, all living
but four. Barnes is still living on
the old Greeley farm, three miles
from Cory, Pa. w. l.. Greeley, son
of Louis Kossuth, and a grand.
nephew of Horace, is the village
barber at Spring Greek Station, and
violinist of local Ienown. He has
two chairs in his shop, but is able to
attend himself to the custom that
comes to the little VILLAGE. A picture
OF the great American journalist and
uncle OF Barber Greeley hangs III a
conspicuous p ace in the shop, and is
often pointed out with p ide TO The
customer, and the relationship fully
explained. As violiuist Mr.. Gree
ley has extensive fame 10 this sec.
ton, and his services are in demand
at all the country balls and huskings.
Mrs Greeley, who has been paraly zed,
weighs 200 pounds, and her face be irs
a striking resemblance to her illus
trous brother. She can walk with
assistance and she is not thought TO
be il immediate danger.
